Hello all,
I haven’t posted on the forums yet so I hope I’m not doing anything wrong with my thread. And my questions definitely pertain to multiple forum locations but I thought it made sense to just do one thread.
To quickly summarize my issues I’m getting into Vinyl and figured I should try to upgrade my current surround system at the same time. I care about the sound quality but don’t have too much Hi-Fi experience yet so I’ve mostly just been reading reviews and researching things.
For the record player I picked up a Pro-Ject Carbon Debut Evo and a Pro-Ject Phono Box DC for the preamp, so I definitely don’t want to short change those with low quality speakers or receiver/amplifier.
I just picked up a pair of second hand Fyne Audio F303 floorstanders for a good price, but now I’m a little hung up on if it’s better to go with a fancier vacuum tube stereo amp and just have a separate stereo system that performs well. Or if it would be better to upgrade my old receiver to something that can power a full set of the Fyne Audio F300 line (a 5.1 setup probably) and possibly add some wallmounted speakers in the future for a Dolby Atmos setup. (And if anyone has done that, how much of an issue is system matching for Atmos speakers?) Does this mean a noticeable loss in audio quality?
TLDR:
Advice on choosing nice stereo Amplifer vs. Atmos-ready Receiver for a Hi-Fi/Home theater setup. And recommendations for either system with Fyne Audio F300 line speakers.
